“We highly recommend Morgan to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter! She is always communicative, dependable, and gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. She treats our older kitty with so much love and care. Morgan has become our go-to pet sitter over the years and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides.”
About: I’ve had experience with every animal from exotics and reptiles to the more common pet like cats and dogs! I used to train colts but now manage my funny farm. I currently work full time but am available at least two full days a week and 18 hours a day 3 days a week with a flexible schedule! I have a fenced yard as well as an outdoor kennel and miles of open fields to provide ample entertainment for your most adventurous pet! Or we can chill inside with centralized air conditioning.
About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life. Growing up on a ranch, I gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including livestock. I’m responsible for overseeing the wellness and nutrition of every animal, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. My experience also includes training and handling livestock, ensuring they are well-behaved and healthy. Whether it's managing animals’ care, training, or addressing specific needs, I’m comfortable working with animals of all types and ages I’m currently looking for part-time work and have a flexible schedule. I’m available on both weekdays and weekends, and can accommodate morning, evening, or overnight stays. I also ensure regular check-ups to stay on top of everything. When caring for pets in a client's home, my approach is always centered around the pet’s individual needs and comfort. I make sure the environment is safe, calm, and familiar, especially when they're away from their owners. I offer a variety of services depending on the pet’s requirements, such as daily walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and regular check-ups to ensure their wellness. For overnight stays, I maintain the same routine as at home, keeping things consistent so the pet feels at ease. I also offer special attention to senior pets or those with specific health needs, making sure they get the care and attention they deserve. Communication with the pet owner is key, so I send regular updates and pictures to keep them informed and reassured that their pet is in good hands.
About: I've been an animal lover my entire life. We are caretakers of all creatures, great and small. I've had all sorts of pets including cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, lizards, birds, even an opossum! I love all animals. It's my belief that my purpose on earth is to care for animals in any way I can. I rescue abandoned or injured animals on a regular basis. I live in a rural area so I often try to save wildlife when I come across them. I've been a Pet sitter on the Central Coast for over 10 years. I also volunteer for Woods humane society. I treat my clients as I would want to be treated. So I will text you pics of your pets while you're away to help set your mind as ease. I've been lucky to be able to work from home for the past two years due to the pandemic. So I can basically stay with your babies 24/7. My goal when staying in a client's home is to leave no trace of my stay when I leave....except happy and healthy pets! I bring my own bedding and food so you don't need to do anything for me. I am lucky enough to be able to work from home. Which means I can work from your home as well. I'm pretty much a homebody. While petsitting, I will stay at your home most of the time, only leaving occasionally to go home to check on things, depending on the length of the petsit. While caring for your pets, I prefer to have written instructions which tell me when to feed them, how much and where the food is kept or where they are fed. (Sometimes dogs are fed in separate areas, etc.) And all other things I should do whether it be taking in mail or putting out garbage, etc.
“Very quick to respond and was amazing with our normally very anti-social kitty! She sent lots of pictures from her drop in visits to put our minds at ease while we were away and we were surprised at how quickly Peebee warmed up to her! Would definitely recommend!”
About: Hey there! I’m an active, dependable animal lover who has been caring for pets for friends and family for years. I know every pet has their own personality, and I enjoy getting to know what makes them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether your dog loves walks, trail adventures, beach time, or a good run, I’m happy to keep them active and moving. If they’re more of a couch companion, I’m just as content spending the afternoon reading a book with a cat curled up beside me. My experience includes caring for dogs and cats of all ages, house sitting, looking after macaws, and owning reptiles, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of animals and following detailed care instructions. I also volunteered at the California Living Museum, where I gained experience working around wildlife and developed an even greater appreciation for attentive, compassionate animal care. I’m clean, respectful of your home, and committed to keeping you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in good hands. My goal is simple: to make your pets feel loved while you’re away and I get an adventure buddy. I currently work full time Monday- Friday. I can be there in the mornings and later afternoons/nights. Weekends just if I’m not on backpacking or scuba diving I’m available. I cannot keep animals at my house per the rental restrictions. But I am more than happy to housesit/ pop in a couple times a day. Just let me know your preferences.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 353 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shandon. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Shandon. On Rover:
- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
